The Ligher Side Of The HP Trial
from the yukking-it-up dept
It must be a slow news day. How often do you see news articles pointing out the funnier side to a trial about a merger? ZDNet has an article pointing out some of the more amusing moments from the HP-Walter Hewlett trial where Hewlett is trying to cancel the company's merger with Compaq. The funniest part is HP's CFO making fun of the opposing attorney for mixing up numbers and dates. After getting a laugh from the courtroom, he said, "I'm not a funny guy but you make it easy."
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
